Much lower than you'd think for almost all of that.
In this sample of Cambridge University faculty from 1967 the lowest score in the Maths department was 124 and 112 in the Physics department.
Don't worry about the IQ threshold though, because there's a simple way to find out if you're good and that's to do it, and if you aren't, you aren't. Finding out you have a higher IQ than you thought you did isn't going to make your difficulties go away.

>calculus 3 and 4
there is no such thing as calculus 4, differential equations is diff eq

anything above calculus 2 and you start pushing <1 SD individuals to the limit. There's also a massive difference between a PDE"s and an intro to ODE"s class and between a complex variables and Complex Analysis class. By the time you hit Real Analysis you have effectively filtered everyone <1 SD. I don't think there is linear progression in intelligence required for math beyond this point. Many people who are perfectly competent cannot into Algebra or cannot into Topology but are able to master techniques in Diff Eq or theoretical physics.

It was published in Nature retard.
Nature, 1967, 213, 442.

In my experience calculus 2 knocks out all the retards

>be me
>sklpped precalc cause it wasn't offered that year
>went straight to calc 1
>teacher had no idea what she was teaching
>I was 15, didn't care about school, didn't even try to learn it
>just copied all the homework answers out of the solution manual (wasn't cheating, teacher let us do it)
>so I had no understanding at all of calc 1, literally didn't even know that derivatives are about rate of change
>next year, went to college, had no understanding at all of calc 1
>took calc 2 anyway
>by now I actually wanted to put in some effort
>got an A in calc 2, didn't understand the underlying basis of it because I didn't know calc 1, but had no problem memorizing the steps, formulas, etc to get an A in the class
so nah I'm gonna say if calc 2 knocks you out, you are beyond retarded, because calc 2 is the easiest thing in the world

calc 2 is basically plug and chug.

Interesting information anon, thanks.
The average IQ in the Cambridge maths department in the late 60's was 130

Do you have a source for the study?

University maths won’t tell, if you really get it. Currently the curriculum is too much to fully understand. Nobody could just go own from it and do his own research from there. It’s mostly memorizing, if you are reasonably intelligent and able to focus, which many intelligent people aren’t, it’s really simple. Most professors have never proofed they are that good. And the people, who are extremely talented sometimes aren’t really able to do the usual curriculum. Many of them are so afraid of people; they will never show up to anything, but the test or directly drop out. In the end most maths students are forgotten and so are most professors. There are a few names that will be remembered, they are extraordinary. The average math student just isn’t. For most above average intelligence 1-4 calculus is just a test how well they can focus on stuff that won’t ever matter to them again.

Calc 2 is cash. Aside from Taylor polynomials and polar stuff everything's just 5000000 new ways to integrate shit

It's much more interesting to discuss what you can change, like study techniques, motivation, and materials, than what you cannot, like IQ.
